So here's how it went --
$2200 in sales right now with more orders due to come in over the next few days.
1 recruit
here are my observations...
the cat lady set up a table of cat stuff she was selling - people bought a lot of that stuff before my demo...there went some of their budgeted spending for the day. They (the cat group) also ran a $5 per ticket raffle for baskets of goodies...there went another bunch of peoples' $. I understand and respect that she (cat lady) needs to raise $ for her group in whatever way she can and her ways are fast $$ ways...but I do feel that cut into my sales...but hey - $2200 is nothing to sneeze at...so no complaints here...
 
Wow, that's great, though!! 1 recruit and over $2000 with more orders still to go...
 
Carolyn~

All I can say is.....


WOW!!!

$2,000 in sales and TONS of points earned (sales + recruit!)

Way to go!!
 
Good job! Great show!
 
Way to go!
 
YOU ROCK CAROLYN!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!
 
Good Job Carolyn! Please be sure and tell us when the final total is in.
 
Carolyn...what organization was the FR for? Kitties???? We have a small local group that takes in feral cats to fix them up and get homes to as many as they can. You just made me ponder!!! In my area it would be a $200 fundraiser with one P.O.'d customer!

That's exactly what this group is. It is the National Foundation for Animal Rescue. The gal in charge is a good friend of my mom's. The last few years the PC part of the FR was handled by peopl ein my downline because I live out of state so I would pass the FR down to them. This summer since I was coming up, the gal in charge asked if I would be willing to do the FR for them...(mom had been braggin' on my TPC stuff). So that's how I ended up doing it this year.
 
Way to go, Carolyn!
 
Great job!!!!!
 
Congratualtions!

I am so happy it went well for you!

I'd guess there were about 50 people in attendance...so far about 25 have ordered. Others bought cat stuff or raffle tickets for the gift baskets.
We're at 2278 now
 
Way to go!!! Keep us posted on your final outcome!
